To all whom it may concern:

citizen of the United States, residingat No. 611 Seventh streetnorthwest, Washington, District of Columbia, have invented'certain newand useful Improvements in Inhalers with Nasal Attachments; and I dodeclare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descrip-- tion ofthe invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same, reference being 7 had to theaccompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon,which form a part of this specification.

The invention relatesto inhalers or respirators designed to be appliedto the exterior'of the nasal organs in such manner that inhalation ofapplied medicaments may ensue and prevention of injurious respiratorymatter may be provided against; and to these ends the invention consistsin the construction and novel combination of the same, as will behereinafter fully described and claimed.

Figure 1 of the drawingsis a view of a human head with the improvedinhaler or respirator in place upon the nose of the wearer. Fig. 2 is aview in perspective of the inhaler or respirator detached from thewearer, and Fig. 3 is plan view of thenose-clip and protecting-padsthereto attached. 5

Referring by numerals to the accompanying drawings, 1 isthecompressing-spring, to the terminations of which are secured or attachedthe pad-carrying frames and the retaining or friction-bearingv pads thatinsure adhesion of the inhaler or respirator to the nose of the wearer;Secured or attached to the compressing -spring and padcarrying frames isan open nose-stall of woven textile.

or similar fabric, its rear side being open in order that the inhaler orrespirator may be readily applied when needed for use and as readilyremoved when notrequired.

The medicamentiispreferably in the form of a solution possessing therequired curative I jiproperties that are desired for inhalation and Beit known that I, GEORGE H. MAURER, a V

exhalation, and isapplied by preference to a piece of raw cotton, asponge,-or the like ahs'orbent, which is placed within the open nose- 1stall,ifn'ot already resting thereimand the inhaler is then applied tothe nose by means of the compressing-spring, so that the medicatedcotton or sponge is brought immediately below and exterior to thenostrils in order that only the emanations from the medicated vehiclemay enter the nostrils, no part of the device engaging or enteringwithin the nostrils of the person wearing'the attachment. To apply thedevice to the nose itis neces sary to resort'to the method of applyingeyeglasses to the nose.

- The device is extremely simple in its con-1 struction and can or maybe used for the application of various medicaments that are adapted toinhalation in treating the respiratory organs.

Having thus fully described my invention,

what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters 1 Patent, is

In an inhaler or respirator, the combina tion with the nose-spring andpad-carrying frames, of the interposed pads secured to said pad-carryingframes upon their 'innerfaces' near the rear portions of saidpad-carrying frames; an open pocket of textile fabric secured to saidnose-spring and to said pad-car- 1 rying frames and extending below theen-. 1 trance to the nostrils of the wearer; and an absorbent materialadapted to receive a cur'a-' 8o tive medicament and to permit ofinhalations and exhalations of the latter without permitting themedicated absorbent material to enter and obstruct the entrances of thenos-.
